mr. r sez:  For the most part hollywood can't really
come up with anything unique or good.  As such,
they tend to suck the literature industry (such as
it is) dry scrambling about like dung beetles (which
serve some useful purpose), taking ideas and making
them into lame movies.  Of course, occasionally,
they get it "right".  Screamers is the best of the
lot (very violent, but then that's how hollywood 
interprets the "excitement of idea" -- violence).
Bladerunner comes close, but must be viewed as a
"film novel" based on concepts from Do Androids --
more of a parody than an interpretation.

TNT -- Tips, Notes, Techniques
TNT was the the title of a book, that I read (i
think I even xeroxed most of it) when I was studying
to be a teacher.  "Tips, Notes, and Techniques for
Teachers".  Of course, what really drew me in was
the stick-figure cartoons that went with each idea.
One of them was a picture of a stick figure with 
a cowboy hat and a lasooe. The lassoe was wrapped
around a student's thought ballon. The "tnt" was 
"Don't steal student's ideas" -- not that *that*
ever happens in the real world!!!!! The worst 
case of this was a maths teacher who consistently
gave us tests with "bits" of un-proved theorems.
(A frood of mine confirmed that he had encountered
this as well!!!  And we all wondered how these 
mediocre maths teachers managed to pub such brillian
proofs!)
